Hello Merch Community, With the news dropping yesterday in the Merch Dashboard that they have suspended print operations in the USA due to COVID-19, we have decided to take action. Currently we know a few things. First, the USA print fulfillment centers are completely shut down while the EU print fulfillment centers remain open for the time being. Second, EU products remain available for sale but all Merch products on the US market are unavailable and some may be disappearing from search (as you may have started to notice). Third, publishing to Merch by Amazon has currently been suspended. There is no current way to upload your designs to live status nor is there a way to upload new products […]

One of the requests we have been receiving lately is adding an EASY way to create patterns in Merch Designs. Over the last year or so, we have been creating a lot of pattern designs especially for Popsockets that have been working INCREDIBLY well (few hundred sales a month). What bottle necked us though, was that to design these, we had to copy and paste the same layer over and over again and re position those layers so that everything looked right before we could download and upload the design to Merch by Amazon. For both of those reasons (requests and need to make this easier), today we have released an update to the Merch Informer designer to allow you […]

We have been working hard behind the scenes to make some pretty big upgrades to Merch Informer! Many of these things are specifically what the community has asked for, and in our attempt to make sure that every Mercher has the best possible tools at their disposal, we have added them all to the Merch Informer modules. So without further ado, lets go over what has changed! Revamped International Database Since Merch Informer has launched we have followed closely with the updates that Merch by Amazon has made to their platform. We quickly adopted search when the UK and DE markets were launched to aid sellers in these new market places. However, since half our team is from the USA […]

Since Merch Informer launched the trademark protection plugin in September of 2018, it has saved tens of thousands of rejections on Merch by Amazon from our users. The fact of the matter is that there are LOTS of trademarks out there, many of them frivolous and they all pose a risk to your account. Going through the USPTO website is a pain, time consuming, and all around just not a fun time. You may end up using a word or phrase that is trademarked and you had NO idea. Well, the trademark extension put an end to that. Over the last few months we have started to get more and more requests for the trademark protection plugin to check listings […]

Bulk designs on Merch by Amazon have been something that we have not talked much about. Sometimes they can do EXTREMELY well while other times they can just fill up your account with lots of shirts that come down and do not sell. However, if you have taken the time to do your research properly and know what niches a good design variation would do well in, then I have good news for you! Merch Informer just released a bulk design tool in the Merch Informer Designer! Previously, it would take a LONG time to go through and edit individual files to change out specific words in a design. Even if you were using Photoshop or Illustrator, this was a […]
